Tifone avvistato carico di razzi per la prima volta

For non military people, these are cheaper more numerous weapons that are now being turned against drones:

>An RAF Typhoon was pictured at BAE Systems Warton carrying two seven round LAU-131 rocket pods, which can be used to fire APKWS guided munitions against surface and, importantly, air targets.

This allows each aircraft to engage many more targets before needing to return to an airfield to be reloaded, an important factor when being faced with dozens or even hundreds of incoming drones. 

Wouldn’t using the cannon be more accurate? yes it exposes the pilot and plane to more danger but rockets require the force to accurately sling towards a quick moving target.
